[G1 General] insperatum:
Haha, well it certainly was very helpful. Narrows a lot of stuff out =D

As for useful, I'm not too sure ;) All that's changed is I know there's somebody out there in seemingly exactly the same situation as me but without a problem :rolleyes:

Oh also, what's your signal strength? I tend to max out at 11 or 12 asu.
[G1 General] jashsu:
The problem isnt so much signal strength as bandwidth saturation. Unlike Time-Division based access schemes, WCDMA allows theoretically for an infinite number (limited only by how much bandwidth loss is considered acceptable by the carrier) of users to connect to a cell node over the same swath of frequency. By encoding each user's data stream with a unique code, the cell node can pick out a user's signal by looking for the expected coding (all the other user's streams appear as overlapping noise basically). Of course the more users on that same band of frequency, the more perceived "noise" there will be, which will result in reduced bandwidth for each individual user (you).

If you run a speed test at night, it should have a much better outcome.
[G1 General] insperatum:
Midnight, 113Kb/s, and I'm off to bed. I'll see how it's doing in the morning. Night ^.^
[G1 General] jashsu:
Yikes. How many bars signal do you have for 3G?
[G1 General] insperatum:
Morning -yawn-

Generally 3 bars, and settings saying something between 9 and 12 asu. I think I was on 11asu when I ran the test last night I think I was on 11asu. This morning for some reason I'm down to 2 bars, 6 asu and up to 190kb/s. *sigh*

Oh, and by the way, t-mobile list my postcode as being within the 4 bar (out of 5 this time) 'very good coverage' area for 3G.

Recommendations?

Update: Blimey. Just went up to 12 asu and scored 350kb/s. Soooo close!
[G1 General] insperatum:
Oh my god! UPDATE!

So a couple of days ago I bought a packet of those crappy chinese £2 signal booster stickers which you just stick to your phone and supposedly you get insanely better reception, not expecting it to work at all but hey, what's £2 for a chance at amazing signal.

And it worked! Turned off phone, stuck it inside behind the battery, rebooted and BAM: first speed test I ran I got 550kb/s. Next one I got over 700!

So I'm really surprised. Anybody having similar trouble getting an HSDPA signal should definitely try getting a a pack of these on ebay to see if it helps.

=D

Update: Turns out all of the above is total bull****. Please disregard.
[G1 General] atconc:
I have 4 full bars - My signal strength shows -77dBm 18 asu

Today I'm hitting up to 1288.0 Kbit/s too :) I guess that Burgess Hill is probably not too heavily saturated in terms of 3G use and it probably helps that I can see the 3g masts on the building across the street from the office window.
[G1 General] jashsu:
Those stickers are pretty widely regarded as junk science. The reboot probably did the trick.
[G1 General] insperatum:
Ah okay, I'll try again with a control and see how it does. Thanks.

________________________________________________________

Yep, you're entirely right. It was the reboot that helped (also coincidence played a nice part; it just happened that I got really high the first time I tried with the stickers in). I tried a few times without them, and didn't score too well the first two times, but got over 800 the third =)

So this leads me to my last question in my journey then. Why is it that my internet is really fast when I first boot up, and then sinks down again. No matter how many speed tests I did, nor when I did them I could never get more than about 350kb/s until I rebooted. Why should rebooting help - Programs I've installed using up resources? Overheating?

And thanks again Jashsu, you saved me from continuing to be a massive idiot.

I am a new member of the group and I have a question about the alarms. I recently upgraded to the Kavana system and all of my alarms are anywhere from 15 to 40 minutes off. Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me?
[G1 Android Development] kushion:
I'm just wondering is anyone trying this yet? i mean is it even possible?

Just a thought for you big shot android devs out there JF, Haykuro, LucidREM :)
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Google "android jni"
[G1 Android Development] Joushou:
Well, a quick trip around google would have helped you.

Android is using java, and currently it's not possible to use anything else.

But anyway, would you rather compile all of your code for multiple architectures? J makes things easier here...

You can write cli-apps in C though... i heard something about that there was plans to make other languages available in android, but i wouldn't hold my breath ;)

Also, why is this related to JF/Haykuro/LucidREM?
[G1 Android Development] Manacit:
I think you can do this with JNI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Native_Interface
[G1 Android Development] haykuro:
Using an ARM native compiler (such as the ones at CodeSourcery, http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription?@template=lite) you can compile your apps and run them fine on the G1 :)

$ arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -static foo.c -o foo
$ adb push foo /data/foo # we are pushing to /data as it is +rwx (read, write, execute) for a standard user.
$ adb shell /data/foo
a=1
b=2
foo=a+b
foo=3

OH I love when I stumble across a post like this and have something new to play with.
[G1 Android Development] kronarq:
The problem is due to the different location of the linker and mainly the different libc you have to statically link everything.

I have been having a hell of a time getting DPKG to build statically.
[G1 Android Development] RueTheDay:
I picked up a copy of the newly released book, Unlocking Android, at Barnes and Noble yesterday. There is a whole chapter devoted to writing native apps using C (and ARM assembler) with the CodeSourcery tools linked above. The author walks through the steps you need to do to dynamically link the libraries so you don't end up with enormous statically linked executables. Well worth the price.
[G1 Android Development] Ungamedplayer:
It is surprising what you can do with C on the phone, its actually not too difficult. The method outlined below doesn't use the non native toolchains and if you use the sourcery toolchain (as mentioned above) you will end up with bigger binaries as you need to link in a standard glibc and not androids bionic libc. This may or may not be important for your project.

The other advantage of the steps below is that you will build and link against any library that is available to the android platform

The easiest way that I've found to start when porting or writing new applications is this method.

1) Check out the current git android source.

2) Build the entire tree, "make" in the top level directory.

3) Create a new directory in mydroid/external/packagename/

4) Copy one of the simple android Android.mk (Make) files from a "like" target.

(If doing a library, choose a library, if coding an executable , choose that).

5) source the mydroid/build/envsetup.sh in the users bashrc

6) cd to your directory, then instead of the usual "make" do an mm.

This should create a binary, which you can adb push to the phone and run at the console.

You can do all the usual things if linked properly, like write the framebuffer using sdl, play sounds, create network connections.

Just remember that you dont have a standard libc (glibc) to play around with you have "bionic". If you are missing your favourite glibc function , it is probably intention and not abug. You'll either need to port it or make do with the functions provided by bionic.

These instructions are for a "pure" C program. you can mix the java like dex calling by 'shelling' out to the C application when you need performance, however premature optimization is the root of all evil, you'll be surprised what performance you can pull from davlik (And I expect the VM guys to improve this even further).

I know that is a lot to digest. Will do the best I can to answer your questions. I'm by no means an expert in the area, but have learned a bit about C on android.
[G1 Android Development] bassbox:
Well I don't know much about all this but what i know is that e.g.

ScummVM IS written in C++ , and so is g-arcade.

His FAQ says:

"How did you do this? Is it Java?

No. ScummVM is a C++ program. For this port, I turned it into a really big JNI library so Android still thinks it's running a Java program, but almost all of it is implemented in C++."

(http://sites.google.com/site/scummvmandroid/faq#TOC-How-did-you-do-this-Is-it-Java-)

So if some1 wanna port MAME, feel free to xD

I think there is a serious problem on Winmo devices that I noticed. My friend tryed to send me a video file which was 32mb huge. I had about 57 MB internal space free so he send me the file trough bluetooth and it recieved well but after I clicked "yes" on the "do you want save the file" screen it denieds me that the storage memory is low and auto delets the file!

Is there any solution that its directly saves the incoming file on the SD kart?

[G1 Android Development] alvarez1900:
I have posted here for awhile mainly over the Tilt and Wing phones. However I now have a G1 and I am confused. I first bought the G1 over craigslist and swore it had bluetooth audio working. I didn't like the web on it as much as my iPhone so I restored it and was going to sell it. Most on craigslist just wanted $100 for it so I thought no way I will just keep it and they will update it etc.. Plus I didn't like how my iPhone didn't have bluetooth audio.

I re-activated my phone and now no bluetooth audio... I could be hallucinating I guess, maybe a2dp never was working and I am thinking pf just my tilt. I have searched these forums and Google and every post I see says A2DP came with a "cupcake" update in late January 09... however my phone says its up to date and I can't find how to activate it.

Now I have also read about how people are rooting their phones etc.. I am very computer versed and did custom roms and unlocking on my old HTC phones but just a bit out of my element I guess.

Any help would be appreciated!
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Your phone says it is up to date probably because it is searching for a T-Mobile USA update. The Android 1.5 rollout for T-Mobile USA hasn't begun yet. It is scheduled to begin in a few days. When that occurs you will have proper A2DP.

A2DP is a huge asset over the iphone imo... its the reason I put the iPhone away and pulled this G1 back out...

Any word on multitouch for the G1 though? I like being able to pinch and resize webpages.

You need to root and mod to get Multitouch on the Browser. JFv1.5 ADP. Also comes with A2DP ;)
[G1 Android Development] cl2eep:
Not to be a jerk, but you literally had to gloss over like 15 threads all highlighting how to get AD2P and multitouch on your G1 to get to the button to post your thread.

Next time try searching, or at the very least reading the sticky threads at the top that have "Read First!" plastered all over them.
[G1 Android Development] fallingup:
And iphone will have a2dp in the newest software update.

Multitouch you will need a custom rom by jesusfreke, haykuro or dude. if you install one of those you will get a2dp as well
[G1 Android Development] alvarez1900:
I went thru about 50 threads all multiple pages with mentions of rooting and a2dp in coming update called cupcake then I found threads that said cupcake was RC30? however many say the newest update is RC33 also said update was set to come out in late january and it is now almost mid may so I assumed it had to be out. There is a ton of misinformation!

Thanks I am excited because I am soooo sick of Windows Mobile and I am a linux ubuntu, suze and red hat freak anyways so I think once I get going a lot will come natuarally! I am hoping anyways!
[G1 Android Development] cl2eep:
RC30 was the 3rd update from Google, then came RC33, which is the current stock build(or build, or at least was until Cupcake/1.5 came out. 1.5 has AD2P and many updates. Those of us with Root access can install cooked ROMS, which thanks to guys like Hayruko and Jesusfreke, are already using the 1.5 firmware and have been for a month or so, along with Hacks like multitouch. This info is all readily available on this forum and places like Engaget.

Hello all,

I have a bit of an odd issue, I am currently running Duttys ROM.

when I put in my city on the weather tab, it works fine. It will show me the forecast and function with no errors. However when I load the shell, I also put in my city, yet it will not pull the weather. All I see is the weather icon with a n/a underneath.

I was under the assumption that spb pulled the weather from the ROM itself, is this not the case, does anyone know of something that can be done to fix this?
